-Fig. 1 represents a plan View of an exemplificai'ion of the razor blade holder; Fig.2

shows a section ofFigJl on the line 2, 2;

rig. 3 is a section of Fig. 2 on the line 3,;3;

lReferringto Figs 1 to 6 the razor blade holder is shown with a handlesubstantially oval in cross'sec'tion having the concaved bottom member 20, with the fiat longitudinal flanges 21 at itssides, andythe concaved top member 22 having tl e tlat longitudinal fianges23 at its sides which are somewhat separated from the flanges 21. The said top member 22 joins with said bottom member at one end as indicated at 2%. The end 28 of the member 20 opposite the end 24 is flat and somewhat reduced in width from the main portion thereof, and extends up on a level fulcrum supports 34 areformed wi'h' and extend up therefrom. A concaved hinged member with the flat longitudinal flanges 36 hinged to the bottom member 20, by Le hinge pin 37. The flanges 36 hin ratec 11m tl .e flanges 21 of the member 20.

Clearance recesses 38 are formed in the flanges 36 ot the member 35. vliulcrrunsupports a1 extend down from the hinged memadapted to engage the locking nose l2 and the locking support 28 to lock the members 20 and to eaeh other. V A pair of guards parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle of the holder extend from the branch members 46, which ged member 35 are normally sepa and 48; Anopenin'g 49 tapering toward its top is formed in the shank member 47 anda similar tapered [opening 50 i formed in the shank member 48. e The fulcrum supports .34 and 43 extend intothe openings 49 and 50 and enable the shank members with their guards torock thereon. v p v To use theholder thehinged member 35 is swung up on the hinge pin 37 'and the razor blade having the edges 56 is located between the flanges 2-l and 36 with its openings engaged by-the locking pins 33. Themember 35 s now swung down and the-locking ringr 4'3 is positioned to lock the nose 4c2and support 28 to each other. :With this disposition of the parts the razor blade 55-is securely clamped in position and the shanks 47 and 48 canrock on each pair of the .fulcrumfsup ports 34 and 42. and thereby rock'the guards 45. to enable the edges 56 to contactwith a sharpening 'or stropningdevice. o Var ous modifications may be made in the invention; the present exemplification is to be tal en as illustrative and not limitative. thereof. l f' 1 I Havingjdescribed'my invention-what I-"de sire tosecur'e byLettersPatent and claim is: 1. In a razorblade holder thec'ombination of a tubular shaped handle comprising a-pair, of memhersipivoted to' each other withjtheir longitudinal edges-.spaced'jfrom' each other. when said members are located in their closed position. said members'having recesses,*a-pair of sh a lrs fulcrumed within said members,

opposite sides of said shanks through the re; cesses of thehandle; a guardconnectingeach pair of branch members; the members ofthe handle adapted to clampgarazor'bladebetween them" and between said guardsand means to clamp the members of the handle to each other, said recesses limiting the rock:

a pair of branch members extending from the,

ing motion of said branch members with the r guards. V

2; In. a razor blade holder, a. devicefor holding a razor blade including a. pair of holder members to clamp the razor blade at opposite sides, a guard within said device between said members and extending on both sides thereof and presenting side bars in parallelism with the edges of the blade, and means to hold said guard for permissive relative rocking movement with regard to said device so that said guard is rocked by engagement with the strop to positions respectively at opposite sides of the edge of the blade. a

3. In a razor blade holder, a device for holding a razor blade including a pair'of holder members to clamp the razorblade at opposite sides, a guard within said device between said members and extending'on both sides thereof andv presenting side barsin parallelism with the edges of the blade, means to hold said guard for, permissive relative I rockingmovement with regard to said device so that said guard. is rocked by engagement with-the strop-to positions respectively atopposite sides of the edge of the blade, and a stop formed upon said device to limit said movementg 4. In a razor blade holder for'use during stropping, a device for holding'a razor blade ineludinzg a. pair of holder members toclamp therazor'blade at opposite sides, a fiat closed guard formed; integrally and comprising side barsepresented opposite theedges of a razor blade in said device and transverse bars adapted i to be attached to said device for a relativemove nent with regard thereto, means to: permit the rocking of said guard, and
